Summer went to autumn, and soon the time advanced to the autumn of 2118.

Everything seems to be no different from usual, and it seems to be a little different, all the changes seem natural and long, when Hua Feng goes out to task and study, the most common ones are still Yunmeng and Bai Feng, with the passage of time, they are all growing slowly.

In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, 182 schools of war were sorted out, especially the "Seven Books of Wujing", which has been a must-read for martial arts since the Song Dynasty, which concentrated the essence of ancient military works.

Paying attention to historiography is also a prominent feature of Han cultural history. Since Sima Qian's compilation of the "Records of the Historians," there have been chronicle history books in the form of chronicles in all dynasties, and the famous "Twenty-four History" has been formed in the Qing Dynasty; the chronicles are represented by the "Spring and Autumn Period," "Zuo Chuan," and "Zizhi Tongjian"; and various other chronicles in the final style of the book, as well as official and private writings such as ancient histories, miscellaneous histories, local historical records, and historical theories, have made China the country with the richest collection of ancient historical documents in the world, and the vast majority of them are written by Han scholars.

Ancient agriculture often includes the achievements of ancient science and technology in many aspects, according to incomplete statistics, more than 2000 years, including more than 370 kinds of agricultural books that have been scattered and handed down to this day, such as "The Book of Sheng", "Qi Min Yaoshu", "Wang Zhen's Agricultural Book", "The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration", is the representative work of ancient agricultural works.

In the development of ancient Chinese literature, the development of poetry occupies a prominent position, such as the Book of Poetry, Chu Ci, Yuefu, Tang poetry, Song Ci, etc., there are many writers and works with high artistic achievements, and the names and works of Qu Yuan (about 340~278 BC), Li Bai (701~762), Du Fu (712~770), Liu Yong (about 987~about 1053), Su Shi (1037~1101), Lu You (1125~1210), Xin Qiji (1140~1207) and others.

They not only shine in the history of Chinese literature, but are also recognized as famous artists in the history of world literature. The prose has the famous Qin and Han ancient texts, to the middle and late Tang Dynasty, by Han Yu (768~824), Liu Zongyuan (773~819) and other advocates of the restoration of the Qin and Han ancient literature movement, to Ouyang Xiu (1007~1072), Su Xun (1009~1066), Zeng Gong (1019~1083), Wang Anshi (1021~1086), Su Shi, Su Zhe (1039~1112), the ancient literature movement won a great victory, called the "Tang and Song Dynasty Eight Masters".

The creation of novels has made great progress in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the long-form masterpieces such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Journey to the West", "Water Margin", "Dream of Red Mansions", and "The Outer History of Confucianism", and short story collections such as "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai" are all famous.

It has also been a long time since the compilation of some great books of this kind. In the Tang and Song dynasties, the "Beitang Book Banknote", "Art and Literature Gathering", "Taiping Yulan", "Shufu Yuangui", etc., especially the "Yongle Canon" and "Book Collection" of the Ming and Qing dynasties, can be called the world's famous ancient encyclopedias, which not only show the glorious achievements of ancient Chinese culture with Han culture as the main body, but also show the spirit of cooperation and mutual learning between ancient Han scholars and minority scholars.

For thousands of years, Confucianism, which advocated benevolence as the center and attached importance to ethical education, had a often profound influence on the Han people.

In terms of moral cultivation, Chinese culture attaches great importance to: "the unity of nature and man", "the unity of mind and matter", "stop at the best", and "return to simplicity". If the heart is selfish, it cannot be one with things, it cannot achieve the highest goodness, and it is impossible to return to the truth. "Zhou Yi Wenyan Biography" said: "The husband is in harmony with heaven and earth, with the sun and the moon, with the four seasons, and with the ghosts and gods."

The congenital and the heavens are violated, and the day after tomorrow is the time of worship. "When people are first born, they have no selfish desires and are naturally innocent, which is the "innate" state; after they are born, they enter the "acquired" state, and with the contact with external objects, the temptation of fame, fortune and beauty often blinds our innate nature, so selfish desires will appear.

The human heart is selfless, but because of the desires of the flesh, people are prone to selfishness, so if we want to return to nature, we need to consciously cultivate, and the process of cultivation is also the process of preserving its heavenly principles and destroying its selfish desires, that is, the process of integrating mind and matter, the process of achieving perfection, and the process of returning to simplicity.

In terms of artifact manufacturing, Chinese culture also attaches great importance to the integration of the spirit of ritual music, rather than just seeking practicality, and especially attaches great importance to not overemphasizing manual skills.

Chinese architecture emphasizes feng shui and harmony with the natural environment, and the building materials are mainly made of stone and wood in nature, even if the bricks and tiles used are artificially fired, these bricks and tiles can be converted into soil after a long time; the clothing is made of animal skins, cotton and linen, silk and the like; and the writing is based on pictograms, which has not changed. All of this embodies the spirit of advocating nature.

The "culture" of Chinese culture is in the classics, while the "transformation" connects the classics with reality, while the results of "transformation" permeate all things related to people.

"Text" is the foundation of "culture", and "culture" is the use of "culture". The "text" of Chinese culture was collected by Confucius in the era of the Three Emperors, the Five Emperors, the Three Kings, and the Five Bos. Those who are golden are also organized, and those who are jade are also organized, and those who are also organized at the end. He who begins to reason is wise, and he who ends in order is holy. ”

As a result, the "text" of China has been determined, and it has become the "Scripture of Heaven and the Meaning of the Earth", and "Wen" has become the basis and principle of "transformation", and there are many methods of "transformation", and the scope of "transformation" is almost omnipresent.

However, Western "science" pursues "analysis", so there are various "cultures", such as "funeral culture", "food culture", "architectural culture", "toilet culture", and so on, and there is almost nothing that is not "culture".

If we look at Western culture according to the "literature" of Chinese culture, then what is their "literature"? Because the premise of Western culture is that "heaven and man are separated," therefore, purely natural things are only "things" and only "guests," and the so-called "objectivity" means that these "things" are regarded as "guests" of "people" and strive to maintain their original appearance.

That is, we strive to ensure the degree of "truth", so "objectivity" is the bridge that connects "people" and "things".

"People" classified and analyzed "people" and "things", and then gave rise to Western social sciences and natural sciences, so both social sciences and natural sciences are the products of "human" cognition, and both have "subjective" characteristics. In the process of dividing "host" and "guest", "people" have become "masters", and "things" have become "guests", and between the host and the guest, there is no concept of "being at home" in Chinese culture, it is "the host is the host, and the guest is the guest".

Here, "man" stands in the position of "master", and all "things" are "for my use", and once they cannot be used by me, they must be transformed or destroyed. We can say that the achievements of the natural sciences and social sciences are an important part of their "literature", because science is constantly changing, so their "literature" is not fixed.

In addition to the achievements of the natural and social sciences, which can be regarded as the "literature" of Western culture, there is another item, that is, the classics of religion.

For believers in Western religions, it seems that God cannot be doubted and is beyond people and things, but if we look at the evolution of Western religions (Christianity), we can know that the belief in Jehovah, the God of the Old Testament, has become the belief in the "Son" Jesus in the "New Testament", and there are also those who believe in the "Virgin" Mary.

Martin Luther's Reformation, like "science", made religious beliefs "constantly innovating". Therefore, this religious "text" is only relatively stable, not fixed. In this sense, religion is also "for my own use".

In all aspects of the natural sciences, social sciences, and religious beliefs, the importance attached to the "artificial" is embodied, and how can such a "literary" be "transformed"? They separate heaven and man, believing that all things in heaven and earth are not part of "man" but things that can be used by wisdom and ingenuity outside of "man." Therefore, they attach great importance to technological inventions, because the higher the level of technology, the more profits will be. They separated the man from God, so there was a separation of church and state, and politically they emphasized the signing of a "contract" between the government and the citizens, and in religion they emphasized the signing of a "contract" between God and believers.

With such a "contract", the rights of each individual can be guaranteed. They say that "human nature is evil", so they use the sanctity of God and Jesus to induce people to pursue "fraternity", because fraternity can benefit everyone, and use the coercive means of law to prevent their rights from being violated.

However, they also conform to and encourage people's selfish desires, pay attention to individual rights and desires between people, and can do everything as long as they do not violate the law, so they appear to be very "free" and "equal", and have a kind of dazzling temptation; they use artificial ingenuity to understand and control all things in heaven and earth, so as to achieve the purpose of satisfying people's selfish desires, so they appear to be particularly developed, powerful, and have a kind of magical temptation.

In this way, it is no wonder that people often praise Western culture, but what is behind this temptation? This is also the question that Hua Feng is puzzled about, although a long time has passed, and the demand for culture in this era has become much weaker, and more often people highlight the practicality of thinking than his artistry.
